A Pilot Study of Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation in Adults and Children With Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes or Inherited Metabolic or Hematologic Diseases
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the rates of durable engraftment in patients with severe aplastic
anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, inborn errors of metabolism, or inherited hematopoietic
disorders refractory to medical management, who are undergoing high dose chemoradiotherapy
followed by unrelated cord blood (UCB) transplantation. II. Determine the incidence and
severity of acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in these patients. III. Monitor
overall and event-free survival of these patients. IV. Evaluate rate and quality of
immunologic reconstitution of these patients. V. Determine whether nucleated cell or
progenitor cell content of the graft is predictive of engraftment.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to low vs high
weight. Patients with severe aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or bone marrow
failure receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -6 to -3 or melphalan IV over 20
minutes on days -4 to -2, antithymocyte globulin (ATG) IV over 4 hours or methylprednisolone
IV over 1 hour twice a day on days -3 to -1, and total lymphoid irradiation on day -1. On
day 0, patients receive umbilical cord blood (UCB) infusion. Patients with inborn errors of
metabolism or inherited hematopoietic disorders receive oral busulfan every 6 hours on days
-9 to -6, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days -5 to -2 or melphalan IV over 20 minutes
on days -4 to -2, and ATG IV over 4 hours or methylprednisolone IV over 1 hour on days -3 to
-1. On day 0, patients receive UCB infusion. Patients with Fanconi's anemia receive ATG IV
over 4 hours or methylprednisolone IV over 1 hour on days -6 to -1, cyclophosphamide IV over
1 hour on days -5 to -2, thoracoabdominal irradiation on day -1, and then the UCB infusion
on day 0. Patients also receive cyclosporine and methylprednisolone beginning on day -2 and
continuing as necessary as graft-versus-host disease prophylaxis. Patients are followed
indefinitely for survival and late toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 4-90 patients will be accrued for this study within 5 years.
